Mark your calendar for our annual Friends of the Library Fall Celebration! This popular event is free and open to the public. Enjoy hors d' oeuvres; beer, wine, and soft drinks; desserts; and live music with Chris Skinner. The Friends will be selling tickets for the Book Basket raffles, including 8 baskets full of treasures, adventures, experiences, and so much more! Raffles will be drawn on September 20th at 2:00pm. You can also participate in the "Dine Around" -- buy a wrapped box guaranteed to contain a dining gift certificate worth more than you paid. Everyone's a winner! Preview our online auction items during the Fall Celebration. Bidding will begin on September 14 at 5:00pm, check out our auction website here! All proceeds from the Fall Celebration and from the Fall Online Auction will benefit the Friends of the Mercer Public Library, who fund library programming, new materials, equipment and furniture, and other special activities throughout the year. Thank you to all of our amazing Sponsors and Donors for helping make this event happen! For more information, go to the Fall Celebration page.
